After few months the inside unit shows a 26.9C regardless the temperature on the float.New batteries - no leak. Anyone knows?

my unit stopped working shortly after I acquired it. Batteries were supposed to last a year on the unit in the pool. They lasted about 10 days. Very disappointing.

My pool float has been outstanding with battery life, however the inside unit needs changed pretty often. I would change the inside unit batteries and then move the two units close together until they sync. This may help.

I had the same problem with the one I ordered so I opened up the battery case to see if maybe the betteries were bad or missing. They has become badly oxidied in the case and so were obviously very old. I pried the suckers out with a screw driver, threw them away (being careful not to touch them with skin in case they were leaking any fluids), cleaned the inside with a clorox wipe, and popped some new batteries in and it has worked great ever since. Give that a try and I hope this helps!

If it isn't a low battery, it's probably gotten wet inside... try popping off the top (like you're replacing the battery) and just leaving it out to dry a bit. After an aggressive session with mine, I will find it a little soggy inside, and the meter will eventually show some numbers then fade away when turned on. Popping off the top and leaving it out a couple dozen hours seems to do the trick.

We had ours for six months then it started going off on its own until it spilled all over the place. We tried replacing batteries and making sure nothing was on the sensor to no avail it still kept leaking all over the place. We threw it in the trash because of mess and frustration. Sorry I was no help to you!

Sorry, that would be better answered by CTeck Support, there are temp and ventilation concerns for the areas where you charge the batteries. So honestly I am not sure.

I purchased mine a fee months ago. It appears to me it should last longer. It was 6 degrees here last evening and my water wasn't frozen. Would definitely contact the company on that.

Hi Janet, you may have done all these things, but if not, make sure it is not in a draft or an overly sunny location either. It must remain at the same temp all day and night in that room. Then, use the internal built in, along with a little white cheap thermometer, and take an average. Plus of course, last week you need more water to keep humidity level up and the shell 'breakable' and stop the auto turner too. Hope some of that helps.

mine is set on C and I keep meaning to contact the company to find out. It is warm on 37-38 over that it gets hot. If you get the answer before I do please let me know. No it is batteries

I just started having the same problem.According to the manual here are some possible causes and solutions.Life of rechargeable battery has expiredInsert a new rechargeable battery.Rechargeable battery is being charged or refreshed in temperatures either too high or too low.Charging and refreshing temperatures should range between 32°F - 95°F (0°C - 35°C).Charging incorrect types of batteries.Charge only a Ni-MH rechargeable battery.

Mine lasted for about one year of daily use; the plastic bubble over the indicator melted off after a few months, and now after a few more months it reads 60-80% of what the temp should be

Well, a lot of them. i had mine go out (as ecotemp said) and i don't think it got below 38f. if you do have a problem with yours im sure they will say it's because you let it freeze. thats what all their complaints are about it seems. and their customer service is non existent, they just said it was all my fault then (get this) he hung up on me. i never raised my voice (but he did) i tried to call back and they would not pick up my call. i will never even think about using them again. good luck!

No question is silly. It has a built in thermometer that keeps the water temperature at 78 degrees. So make sure you have a thermometer in the tank, if you see the temperature of your water is too low that'll tell you it's not working. If the temperature stays at around 78 and above it's working.

I watched it count up by single increments, but I didn't watch it for long. I believe that it tops out at 65C, as others have said. It can be set and will hold the temp.

The unit takes 4 "D" cell batteries and I'm assuming Your question implies that You've owned it for at least one season. I'm hoping You removed the batteries for Winter storage cause they may have leaked and are "stuck" inside the unit. The green end cap "Unscrews" and the old batteries should all slide out. If they are stuck due to leakage You may have to "Tap" the tube and hope they slide out. I'm assuming because You ask how to "change" the batteries that you've used it and the batteries need replacing so if thats the case then hopefully as I said You removed the batteries prior to Winter storage. Hope this helps and again the green cap unscrews and the batteries should all slide out.

Although I haven't experienced an LL reading, according to what I've read...regular alkali batteries will operate to about 25 degrees F. Below this they get too cold to generate enough power to give a temp reading. Lithium batteries will operate to about -4 degrees F. If the temperature is colder than this, the display will show LL.L until the temperature rise above -4. So it sounds like maybe the temp is too cold for the batteries of the digital thermometer to work properly. Don't know if that helps any.

This has more to do with your batteies than the LED light. Alkaline batteries perform very poorly when they are below freezing. If you use rechargeable NiMH batteries then the light can operate down to -20C or even lower. I know this becasue I have this light powered byTenergy Centura rechargeable C cells in my (unheated) garage. During last winter the outdoor temperature can drop to 0F (-18C) at night, and the light still works.

Sorry, I don't know. Have you tried testing it in boiling water? Or changed the battery?
